| Description: |
Robert Tressell's classic pre-First World War account of the lives of a group of housepainters is vividly adapted by Brenton. |
| Synopsis: |
The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists recounts the little daily successes and the disasters of a group of working-class men, living under the constant fear of being laid off by employers forever looking for new corners to cut. Both workers and bosses are caught in a system spiralling out of control, but why is it the workers always come out worse? |
